Last Chance for Financial Freedom
If you’re still thinking about purchasing one of the best money bundles I’ve seen in a long time, a gentle reminder that Financial Freedom 2.0 goes away today and that’s the last we’ll see of it. It’s filled with expert advice, e-courses (one my yours truly about how to change your money mindset), e-books, and other good stuff. Prices are going up, there’s talk of a recession, layoffs, you name it so I can’t think of a better time to invest $49 to pick up a resource that can not only help you survive but thrive too. Best thing is there’s a money back guarantee. Try it for 60 days…

Money Saving Tip-Save Seeds
One way to stretch a budget and be less wasteful is to make sure you use everything. I know you can’t eat all parts of fruits and vegetables but try saving seeds from things like tomatoes and peppers. Even try growing an avocado pit. I even have some apple seeds I’m going to give a try growing in the spring. Best thing you you don’t have to spend any more money because you’re sourcing it from something you’ve already paid for. I call that a win-win for budget smart people.

Money Saving Tip-Black Friday, Make It Work For You
I have to admit I do look forward to Black Friday. During October and early November, I put off buying everyday things because I wait to see what deals I can get on Black Friday. Think about something you’ve been wanting to buy. One item I’m considering is an air fryer. One tip I’ve learned is not to assume just because a store or site has a ‘deal’ that it’s actually a good price. Check what they usually retail for and definitely compare sites. And as an entrepreneur, the thing I like most about Black Friday is lots of things I consider good investments for me go on sale. Things…

Money Saving Tip-Thanksgiving
This week, it’s a money saving tip of a different sort. I saw this on MarketWatch and thought I’d share the link with you. Companies like Walmart and Aldi and more are rolling back prices or running promotions on Thanksgiving items. I’m sure other companies will follow this trend too. If your budget allows, why not stock up on a few items…great for pantry building, before the prices go up again. Canned foods are great to have on hand, think cans of pumpkin, mushroom soup, and evaporated milk.

Money Saving Tip-The Price Book
Do you know if the price of say a quart of milk has gone up in price? How about how much you paid for gas last month.? Or that hair color three months ago? Sometimes we have a vague idea that something’s gone up in price but to be sure, why not keep a price book. It doesn’t have to be fancy, something from the dollar store will do. Write down all the things you buy and include services and memberships and make a note of the current price. When you go to buy that same thing or service in say a month, check on the price. If it’s going…
